Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-10-18

there be more than one, and to keep the sam,
constantly in repair, finsh with the street
and with good crossings"
This seems to mark clearly the obiigauon
of the company. The entire length of th'
street used by the tracks as set forth IN ,h'
ordins nee must be paved uhen the road Is con
structed, and thereafter Kept IN repair, at thel
cost and expense. l do not thinn tne aS com u,
imposed upon others owning properly upoi
| street about to be improved that .ne falu'
| of its estate is enhanced by such improve
| meut: and that it liz clearly WITHIN th'
AUTHORITY of the City Council to enforce
the payment of any assessment IL may SEE
fit 10 make in the exercise of its power un
der the charter of the city. But as the com
| munication of the company seems TO sug
| gest remedy or solution of this entire ques
tion and one which will facilitate the I'M
provement of the streets over which tht
tracks are laid in the future, and delay foi
many years the question of enforcing assess
ments, would suggest that without more
ado or controversy the suggestion be adopt
ed Ii is as follows; And they Uht
company would further represent that
said corporation is at all times ready ano
willing to comply fully and promptly with
said provisions (referring to the provisions
/ of - franchise quoted in the communities
1 tom IN all respects as in said provisions re
quired, and in accordance with speciiica,
tfons approved and imposed by the proper
city authorities" :,
| iwould suggest, then, that your honorable
body have prepared plans and specifications
aud order paved that portion of all streets
occupied by street railways as provided by
| law and the conditions of the franchise.
There are many reasons why this should be
done at the present time, but this one is suf-
| fciept-it il the law.
